i havnt been updating this as much as i should be. oops.

saw iron man 2. i wont go into it since i know a lot of you will be seeing it soon. Enjoy, its worth it.

However, i did watch The Way of the Gun this week, which i have not seen in ages. A truly underseen flick from the writer of The Usual Suspects, in which Benicio Del Toro holds a gun way cooler than you can. That's really all you need to know.



I also watched The Bourne trilogy again. Truly one of the best and most consistent trilogies around. It's actually quite remarkable how well the story unfolds over all three films. Paul Greengrass really took this franchise and ran with it. The action and stakes are continuously raised not only from moment to moment, but movie to movie. Hell, Supremacy and Ultimatum together is practically one long, exhausting film. Granted, the stakes could never have been raised if the bar wasn't set with The Bourne Identity, directed by Doug Liman. Credit where credit is due. But I'll be honest, i just love Greengrass's Bourne more. He made Bourne feel more cold blooded while at the same time made him feel more human, which is where i really get hooked. Some of my favorite action heroes are the ones who seem human, not only physically but emotionally. The fact that Bourne spends almost the entire final act of Supremacy trying to make amends for his first assassination is something that i find truly amazing, especially in such a huge action franchise such as this one.

Ok, I'm done slobbing all over Matt Damon's knob, im gonna go watch Man vs wild.
